Stade de Reims vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

Stade de Reims are yet to find their feet this league season, and have not yet won a game. Much will rely on the likes of Arber Zeneli and Boulaye Dia, who look likely to lead the line for them.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, have not had the most auspicious of starts either. Having lost their first two games, they have found form, and with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Angel Di Maria all likely to play together soon, Thomas Tuchel's side look close to being back at their very best.

PSG have one of the most talented squads in Europe, and in Thomas Tuchel a highly capable manager. They are the clear favourites to take the three points in this match.

Prediction: Stade de Reims 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain
